Am I the only person that keeps their android smartphone more than a year? Because the new ones aren't any better and I'm grandfathered into an unlimited Verizon data plan? <BR>
<BR>
But try to get a battery - sheesh. <BR>
<BR>
After looking all over, I call BatteryMonster and they swear these are new OEM batteries. <BR>
<BR>
So, I order 2 of them. <BR>
<BR>
Today they showup:<BR>
The color of the label is wrong.<BR>
The label doesn't fit snugly on the plastic case.<BR>
They BOTH have the SAME serial#. My two genuine HTC batteries have different ones, and the later one has.......wait for it....... a higher serial#. <BR>
That Serial number is LOWER than the serial number on my original battery which is now three years old. <BR>
<BR>
In short, these are obvious counterfeits. They copied the same label from years ago and slap it on every one they crank out. <BR>
<BR>
I dunno. What do I expect. I call HTC and they say they aren't making replacement BTR6425B batteries anymore. <BR>
<BR>
But given that these batteries are known to sometimes explode and burn, one would like to avoid unknowns. <BR>
